Luxury villas in Corfu combine beautiful beaches, lush landscapes and elegant coastal villages with the space, privacy and freedom of your own Greek island home.
Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa combines contemporary Asian-inspired elegance with the timeless beauty of Corfu, creating a hillside retreat where sweeping Ionian views, exceptional dining and one of the island's finest spas come together in effortless harmony. Occupying an elevated position above Benitses, the resort has been carefully designed to embrace its surroundings rather than dominate them. Contemporary architecture is balanced by natural stone, warm timber and Mediterranean planting, while expansive terraces and open walkways frame uninterrupted views across the Ionian Sea. Every aspect of the design encourages guests to pause, take in the landscape and appreciate the remarkable setting. Although substantial in scale, the resort never feels overwhelming. Distinct areas flow naturally between elegant communal spaces, landscaped gardens and quiet corners overlooking the coastline, creating an atmosphere that feels refined, spacious and wonderfully relaxed. para-2 Rooms, suites and private villas have been designed with generous proportions and a strong connection to the outdoors, allowing natural light and panoramic sea views to become part of everyday living. Soft contemporary interiors combine handcrafted details with subtle Corfiot influences, creating accommodation that feels luxurious while remaining welcoming and comfortable. The suite collection introduces larger living spaces, expansive terraces and private pools, while the beautifully appointed villas offer an even greater sense of privacy for families or guests seeking a more exclusive retreat. Across every category, the emphasis remains on space, comfort and understated sophistication. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and generous outdoor areas ensure the spectacular setting remains a constant presence throughout every stay. para-3 Dining reflects the resort's international outlook while remaining firmly connected to its Mediterranean setting. Oribu delivers beautifully presented Japanese and Nikkei-inspired cuisine, Sofrito celebrates the rich culinary traditions of Corfu and Greece, while Ruen Romsai offers generous breakfasts and Mediterranean favourites in an elegant open-air setting. As evening arrives, Emerald by Night creates a more intimate atmosphere where inventive cocktails, refined cuisine and panoramic sea views combine to make dinner feel like a genuine occasion. Each venue brings its own personality, giving guests an impressive variety of experiences without ever losing the relaxed character of the resort. para-4 The spectacular infinity pool naturally becomes the focal point of the resort, appearing to merge seamlessly with the Ionian beyond. A private beach, reached by the resort's shuttle, offers another perspective of the coastline, while yoga sessions, watersports, cultural experiences and island excursions allow guests to experience Corfu well beyond the hotel. Whether spending the day beside the pool, discovering hidden beaches or exploring Corfu Town and the Achilleion Palace, the resort provides an ideal balance between peaceful seclusion and effortless exploration. para-5 Angsana Spa is one of the resort's defining experiences, bringing together holistic therapies, signature massages, beauty rituals, a heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room and dedicated wellness programmes. Together with a fully equipped fitness centre and regular yoga sessions, it creates an exceptional wellness offering that feels every bit as impressive as the resort itself. para-6 Located above Benitses on Corfu's east coast, Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa enjoys a privileged position overlooking the Ionian Sea while providing easy access to Corfu Town, historic landmarks and some of the island's most beautiful beaches, making it one of Corfu's most complete luxury resorts.
From £155 per night
Set within 32 acres of mature olive groves and palm-filled gardens in Gouvia, Art Hotel Debono is a quietly elegant retreat where generous green spaces and warm Corfiot hospitality create a welcome sense of calm. Unlike many of Corfu's larger coastal hotels, Art Hotel Debono allows the landscape to shape the experience. Low-rise buildings are thoughtfully positioned throughout the gardens, connected by winding pathways that encourage guests to slow their pace and enjoy the surroundings. Mature trees provide natural shade, colourful planting softens every corner and the atmosphere feels more like a private estate than a conventional resort. There is an understated confidence to the property that becomes more apparent with time. Rather than relying on dramatic architecture or elaborate public spaces, it succeeds through comfort, tranquillity and a genuine feeling of space. It is the sort of hotel where long afternoons beside the pool, quiet walks through the gardens and unhurried evenings become part of the rhythm of the stay. para-2 The 62 rooms and suites continue the same relaxed approach, combining contemporary styling with warm, neutral tones and generous natural light. Every room opens onto a private balcony overlooking the gardens, while comfortable furnishings and uncluttered interiors create spaces that feel immediately easy to settle into. Guests looking for something more indulgent can choose from the bungalow suites, private pool suites or junior suites with outdoor jacuzzis, each introducing greater privacy and a stronger connection to the landscaped surroundings. The emphasis remains on comfort rather than excess, allowing the peaceful setting to remain the defining feature. Throughout the accommodation there is a reassuring sense of consistency, where thoughtful design, quality materials and quiet surroundings combine to create a restful place to return to after exploring the island. para-3 Dining centres on Tenedos Main Restaurant, where Mediterranean and Ionian flavours are presented with freshness and simplicity. Seasonal local ingredients feature throughout the menu, while both indoor and garden seating allow meals to unfold in a relaxed setting that reflects the hotel's unhurried character. The pool bar provides a natural gathering place during the day, serving light lunches, refreshing drinks and cocktails without interrupting the leisurely atmosphere. As evening arrives, the gardens become beautifully illuminated, creating a peaceful backdrop for dinner and late-night conversation. Breakfast is equally enjoyable, served overlooking the gardens with an extensive selection of fresh fruit, pastries and local specialities that provide an excellent introduction to the flavours of Corfu. para-4 Life at Art Hotel Debono revolves around the beautifully maintained gardens and the inviting central swimming pool, where hydromassage features, comfortable loungers and mature planting create one of the hotel's most appealing spaces. It is easy to spend an entire day here, moving between the pool, shaded terraces and quiet corners beneath the trees. For those wishing to be more active, there is a tennis court, table tennis and occasional live entertainment, while Gouvia's waterfront, cafés and marina are all within easy walking distance. Corfu Town is only a short drive away, making it equally simple to explore the island's historic capital before returning to the tranquillity of the hotel. The balance between accessibility and peaceful surroundings is one of Art Hotel Debono's greatest strengths, offering guests the best of both worlds without ever feeling hurried. para-5 Wellbeing here is shaped less by extensive spa facilities and more by the atmosphere of the property itself. The mature gardens, peaceful surroundings and generous outdoor spaces encourage guests to slow down naturally, while the hydromassage pool and outdoor jacuzzi suites add another layer of relaxation. It is a hotel that understands the value of simplicity, where attentive service, beautiful gardens and an easy-going pace combine to create a genuinely restorative stay. para-6 Located in Gouvia on Corfu's east coast, Art Hotel Debono is within easy walking distance of the village's restaurants, cafés and marina, approximately 7 kilometres from Corfu Town and around 9 kilometres from Corfu International Airport.
From £105 per night
Cascading through 110 acres of cypress, eucalyptus and pine woodland above Ermones Bay, Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo Resort is an adults only retreat where Corfu’s wild west coast and sweeping Ionian views provide a spectacular natural backdrop. The hillside is fundamental to the character of the resort. Terraced buildings follow the contours towards the sea, allowing the landscape to remain visible between them and giving different parts of the property their own perspective across the bay. Paths wind through established woodland, terraces appear above the cliffs and the Ionian repeatedly comes back into view as you move between the different levels. It creates a wonderful sense of scale without losing the connection with nature. The combination of forested slopes, rocky coastline and blue water gives this side of Corfu a distinctive beauty, while the resort makes the most of its position with pools, restaurants and outdoor spaces oriented towards the sea. para-2 Rooms and suites are distributed across the hillside, with a choice of inland, limited sea and full sea views. Interiors are comfortably contemporary, using a restrained palette that allows balconies, terraces and the surrounding landscape to become an important part of the room experience. The private pool categories make particularly good use of the setting. Deluxe Double Rooms and Double Suites with private pools add a more secluded dimension to the stay, combining personal outdoor space with views towards the Ionian, while the Deluxe Villa offers the greatest sense of independence and space. For guests who value the outlook above everything else, the sea view rooms capture much of what makes Grand Mediterraneo special: waking above the wooded coastline and watching the colour of the bay change throughout the day. para-3 Three restaurants give dining a pleasing amount of variety. The Restaurant provides the main setting for breakfast and dinner, while Culinarum Beach Restaurant brings meals closer to the shoreline and makes the most of the resort’s relationship with Ermones Bay. Vertigo Italian Restaurant changes the mood again, with Italian flavours adding another dimension to a dining programme that also draws strongly on Greek and Mediterranean cooking. Across the restaurants, the emphasis is on relaxed holiday dining, with outdoor settings and sea views naturally becoming part of the occasion. Evenings can be as sociable or as leisurely as guests choose, moving from dinner to drinks and live music or simply finding a terrace from which to watch the last light disappear over Corfu’s west coast. para-4 The private beach below the resort is one of its defining pleasures, reached through the dramatic landscape that separates the upper terraces from the water. Days can move easily between swimming in the Ionian, relaxing beside the outdoor pool and finding quieter spaces among the gardens and woodland. There is plenty here for more active stays too. Tennis, hiking and cycling are complemented by diving and other coastal activities, while Corfu Golf Club lies nearby. Walking is particularly rewarding in this part of the island, where wooded hills and the rugged western shoreline reveal a very different side of Corfu from its better known resort areas. The choice of indoor and outdoor pools also gives the resort flexibility beyond the height of summer, while themed evenings, live music and organised activities provide another layer for guests who enjoy a little more happening around them. para-5 SensSpa is a destination in its own right, providing a peaceful retreat from the sunshine with a sauna, dedicated relaxation areas and a broad menu of massages, facials and body treatments. Yoga adds a gentler approach to movement, while the fitness centre provides space for guests who prefer to maintain a more active routine. There is something especially appealing about returning to the spa after a day by the sea, then emerging for a quiet evening overlooking the bay. The combination of wellness, woodland and water gives Grand Mediterraneo a restorative quality that feels entirely at home in this secluded corner of Corfu. para-6 Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo Resort sits above Ermones Beach on Corfu’s west coast, close to Corfu Golf Club and approximately 15 kilometres from Corfu Town, while Corfu International Airport is around 14 kilometres away.
From £100 per night
Avali, Mar-Bella Collection gathers around a secluded bay on Corfu’s south-east coast, with mountains behind it and the Ionian Sea extending beyond a 300-metre beach. Everything is pleasingly close at hand. The low-rise buildings, freshwater infinity pool, restaurants and gardens are arranged within easy reach of the shoreline, giving the hotel an intimate scale and allowing the sea to remain visible from many of its shared spaces. Premium all-inclusive dining and a relaxed social programme give Avali a livelier edge without overwhelming its coastal calm. It is designed primarily with adults in mind, welcoming couples, friends and solo travellers alongside families with children aged over six. para-2 The 76 rooms and suites have a clean, contemporary character, shaped by natural tones, uncluttered lines and an emphasis on light. Air conditioning, coffee facilities, a minibar and private bathrooms provide practical comfort, while balconies and terraces create a stronger connection to the surrounding gardens, mountains and sea. Mountain-facing rooms bring the green interior of Corfu into view, while sea-facing accommodation looks across the bay and Ionian horizon. Rooms with grand balconies provide more outdoor space for reading, sunbathing or lingering over a morning coffee. Rooftop Deluxe Double Rooms occupy elevated positions within the hotel, giving their private outdoor areas a greater sense of openness. Guests can choose between mountain and front sea views, depending on whether they prefer the island landscape or the water to dominate the outlook. Panorama Junior Suites introduce more room to settle, with their position designed to make the most of the coastal setting. Selected versions add a private pool, creating a self-contained place to swim and relax away from the main infinity pool. Further private-pool rooms and junior suites are available at different points around the property. These are particularly appealing for couples who want the convenience and social atmosphere of an all-inclusive hotel alongside more personal outdoor space. para-3 Zardini Main Restaurant forms the foundation of the dining programme, beginning with a buffet breakfast before serving the wider all-inclusive offering. Mediterranean flavours and an easy indoor-outdoor atmosphere keep meals connected to the climate and coastal setting. Stiá Grillhouse puts fire and flame at the centre of the experience, giving evenings a more distinctive character through freshly grilled dishes and outdoor dining. Barbecues beneath the stars extend this convivial mood into selected nights. The Cicada beach truck keeps snacks and chilled drinks close to the sand and pool. It is a useful daytime addition, allowing guests to refuel between swims without turning lunch into a lengthy interruption. Al fresco terraces create inviting places to dine as the light changes over the bay. Cocktails and refreshments are included within the premium all-inclusive programme, supporting a relaxed flow from an afternoon beside the water to dinner and drinks after sunset. Live music, DJs and pop-up events occasionally give evenings a more sociable energy. The programme changes through the season, adding variety without requiring guests to plan every night around formal entertainment. para-4 Avali’s 300-metre beachfront and calm bay form the centre of the daytime experience. The pebbled shore leads into clear Ionian water, with cabanas, loungers and shaded areas providing ample space to settle close to the sea. The large freshwater infinity pool sits just above the beach, its edge visually merging with the water beyond. Towels, sun loungers and umbrellas are readily available, making it easy to alternate between the pool and bay throughout the day. Stand-up paddleboards, canoes and kayaks are available from the beachfront watersports centre. The sheltered setting is particularly well suited to gentle exploration, while the surrounding coastline offers more scope for boat trips and time on the water. Hiking, walking and cycling provide a change of perspective inland. Guests also have access to selected facilities at neighbouring MarBella, broadening the available activities while allowing Avali itself to retain its smaller, more contained atmosphere. Weekly movie nights bring a relaxed communal moment beside the pool, complete with popcorn and drinks. Beach parties, live performances and barbecue evenings add further variety for guests who enjoy a little more energy after dark. para-5 The outdoor spa cabin is positioned beside the beach, allowing treatments to unfold within sound of the sea. Massage and personalised wellness rituals are offered in a private setting with Ionian views, making the location as important as the treatment itself. Indoor and outdoor fitness spaces provide flexibility for independent workouts. The open-air area is particularly appealing in the cooler parts of the day, when the coastal outlook and sea breeze create a refreshing alternative to a conventional hotel gym. Yoga, fitness classes and personal training add guided options for guests who prefer more structure. Wellness remains integrated into the wider holiday, easily combined with a morning swim, paddle across the bay or quiet afternoon beneath a cabana. para-6 Avali is located in Agios Ioannis Peristeron on Corfu’s south-eastern coast. Local tavernas and neighbouring Mar-Bella Collection hotels provide additional options nearby, while the position makes a useful base for exploring the eastern side of the island. Achilleion Palace is approximately 7.7 kilometres away and Pontikonisi around 9.1 kilometres from the hotel. Corfu International Airport is approximately 18 kilometres away, placing the resort within reach of Corfu Town while preserving the enclosed character of its coastal bay.
From £235 per night
Above Kommeno Bay and close to Gouvia, Cook’s Club Corfu is an adults only retreat with a distinctly sociable spirit, bringing together poolside DJs, an inventive food concept and a relaxed contemporary style made for long, unhurried days in the sun. Cook’s Club has a personality of its own. The hotel takes its cues from the easier side of Mediterranean life, using natural textures, warm neutral tones and plenty of greenery to create spaces that feel informal and inviting. At its centre are two outdoor pools, surrounded by loungers and terraces where much of the day unfolds to a carefully judged soundtrack. There is an energy to the place that builds naturally as the day goes on. Mornings might begin with yoga before breakfast, afternoons drift between the pool and a cocktail, and resident DJs take things towards evening with live music and a changing programme adding to the atmosphere. It feels particularly well suited to couples and friends who enjoy a hotel with some life around them. para-2 The rooms provide a calm backdrop to the more expressive spaces elsewhere in the hotel. Comfort Rooms with Garden View look towards the surrounding planting, while Double and Twin Inland View Rooms offer the same clean contemporary approach with private balconies extending the living space outdoors. Interiors keep things simple and tactile, combining pale finishes with natural materials and muted colours. The emphasis is on comfortable, uncomplicated spaces to return to after a day around the pool, on the beach or exploring Corfu, with balconies providing a private spot for a slower start to the morning. para-3 Food is one of the most individual aspects of Cook’s Club Corfu. Cantina moves away from conventional hotel dining with its parea inspired approach, placing dishes in the middle of the table as they are prepared and turning meals into something to share. The menu travels widely, from Asian and American street food influences to Greek regional cooking, with healthy and plant based choices woven throughout. Campiello brings the focus firmly back to Corfu. Served beneath the evening sky, its à la carte menu draws on recipes associated with generations of Corfiot cooking alongside the Venetian influences that have long shaped the island’s food. It gives dinner a strong sense of place and provides a more intimate contrast to the easygoing atmosphere around Cantina. The Feel Free concept allows food and selected drinks to be ordered throughout the day, including barista coffee, cocktails and made to order dishes. Captain Cook’s keeps refreshments close to the pool, so lunch can stretch into the afternoon without interrupting a particularly comfortable day on the lounger. para-4 The pools are the natural meeting point, and this is where Cook’s Club finds its rhythm. Resident DJs provide the soundtrack, cocktails arrive at the lounger and the atmosphere moves easily between lazy afternoons and livelier evenings. Live performances appear through the weekly programme too, giving different days their own character. Yoga, Pilates, sound healing, fitness classes and tennis offer plenty of reasons to get moving, while experiences such as a visit to a local kumquat producer bring a little Corfiot flavour into the programme. Gouvia Beach is within walking distance, and the concierge can arrange a wider exploration of the island when the pull of Corfu’s coastline and villages becomes irresistible. para-5 The spa provides its own change of tempo with a hammam, sauna and a menu of massages, while the fitness centre and regular yoga sessions make wellness easy to build into the day. It all fits comfortably with the character of Cook’s Club, whether that means starting the morning actively or disappearing for a massage after a long afternoon in the sun. para-6 Cook’s Club Corfu is located above Kommeno Bay near Gouvia, with Gouvia Beach and the village within walking distance, Corfu Town approximately 8 kilometres away and Corfu International Airport around 9 kilometres from the hotel.
From £85 per night
Occupying the tip of the Kommeno Peninsula, Corfu Imperial, A Grecotel Resort to Live is one of Corfu’s most remarkable seaside addresses, with four sandy coves, mature Mediterranean gardens and an exceptional collection of waterfront rooms, bungalows, suites and private villas. The peninsula gives Corfu Imperial its character before anything else does. Olive trees, palms and cypress frame paths that descend through the grounds towards small beaches, sea terraces and villas positioned almost at the water’s edge. The Ionian wraps around the property on several sides, so the view changes constantly as you move through the resort rather than being confined to a single grand outlook. There is a wonderful sense of discovery in the layout. One path might lead to a quiet cove, another to a restaurant suspended above the water, while the most exclusive villas occupy their own sections of coastline with pools, gardens and private sea access. Marble, pale stone and established planting give the resort an elegance that feels entirely at home on Corfu, while the scale allows different parts of the peninsula to develop their own atmosphere. para-2 Accommodation ranges from elegant sea view guestrooms in the main building to garden bungalows, family suites and an extraordinary collection of waterfront residences. Panoramic and Deluxe Guestrooms make the most of the hotel’s elevated sea views, while Junior Bungalow Suites and Waterfront Junior Suites bring guests progressively closer to the shoreline. The bungalow collection adds further variety, with swim up options, shared pool accommodation and larger family layouts set among the gardens. Boschetto introduces a separate family focused area within the estate, while the Imperial and Presidential Suites offer considerably more space and commanding views across the peninsula. The villa collection is where Corfu Imperial becomes particularly special. Two and Three Bedroom Beachfront Villas, Waterfront Villas and Rock Villas place private pools beside the sea, while the larger Palazzo residences and multi bedroom estates offer expansive living areas, private terraces and exceptional seclusion. At the highest level, residences such as Palazzo Imperiale, Medusa Estate and the Six Bedroom Beachfront Villa create a genuine private estate experience within the wider resort. para-3 Dining is every bit as varied as the setting. Mon Repos provides the broad Mediterranean heart of the resort, while Aristos moves into a more refined style of Greek and Mediterranean cooking. The different venues are spread across the peninsula, so dinner is often as much about the setting as the menu. Yali Seafood is one of the most memorable places to eat, positioned directly beside the Ionian with seafood naturally taking centre stage. Trattoria & Wine Bar brings a relaxed Italian influence to the collection, while Merlin’s Bar Restaurant offers an adults only setting with a more contemporary character. Guests can also visit Danilia Village, Grecotel’s recreation of a traditional Corfiot village, for dining and cultural experiences away from the peninsula. Back at the hotel, lounge, cocktail and pool bars make it easy to move from a late lunch by the water into drinks as the light begins to soften across the bay. para-4 The coastline gives each day its own rhythm. Four sandy beaches and coves sit around the peninsula, joined by several outdoor pools and terraces, so it is easy to find a favourite corner and stay there for hours or move between the different parts of the resort as the mood changes. Water sports, canoeing, snorkelling and diving make full use of the setting, while tennis, fitness sessions and a wider programme of activities provide plenty away from the sea. Families have dedicated clubs and play spaces, and the established gardens create room for quieter walks between the busier parts of the day. The resort also works beautifully as a base for seeing more of Corfu. Boats can open up the coastline from the water, while nearby villages and Corfu Town bring Venetian architecture, café filled squares and the island’s rich cultural history within easy reach. para-5 Wellness is given serious space here, with an indoor pool, sauna, steam room and extensive treatment menu covering massage, body rituals, facials and beauty therapies. Yoga, personal training and fitness sessions add another layer, while the location itself does much of the work once you step back outside into the gardens and sea air. para-6 Corfu Imperial is located on the private Kommeno Peninsula approximately 12 kilometres from Corfu Town, with a regular hotel shuttle connecting the resort with the island’s historic capital.
From £190 per night
Stretching along the water’s edge at Moraitika, Domes Miramare, a Luxury Collection Resort, Corfu is an adults only retreat where a distinguished past, mature Mediterranean gardens and an exceptional collection of waterfront suites and pavilions come together beside the Ionian Sea. The sea feels remarkably close at Domes Miramare. Gardens run almost to the shoreline, terraces face directly across the water and long waterfront paths connect the different parts of the resort, giving the hotel a graceful sense of movement along the coast. Ancient olive trees and established planting soften the pale stone and contemporary architecture, while glimpses of Corfu’s heritage appear throughout the design. There is elegance here, but the pleasure of Miramare comes from how comfortably it wears it. Mornings begin beside the water, afternoons can disappear between the beach and pools, and the gardens become particularly beautiful as the heat softens towards evening. The adults only setting suits the atmosphere perfectly, allowing the whole resort to maintain an assured, leisurely pace. para-2 The accommodation has considerable range, beginning with Jade Suites and moving through the Opal and Emerald collections to some genuinely impressive waterfront pavilions and private residences. Sea view and beachfront categories make the most of the setting, while outdoor jacuzzis and private pools appear as you move through the collection. Emerald Retreats and Suites bring guests particularly close to the shoreline, including beachfront options where the relationship with the Ionian becomes part of the room itself. Pavilion Retreats introduce more privacy, while Pavilion Suites pair larger living spaces with private pools, jacuzzis and either garden or waterfront positions. The Grand Pavilions are among the most desirable choices, with private pools and expansive outdoor spaces facing the sea. Emerald Residences provide one and two bedroom layouts for guests wanting a more residential experience, while the HRH Pearl and HRH Ivory sit at the pinnacle of the collection. Haute Living services accompany selected higher categories with enhanced concierge attention, exclusive spaces and additional privileges throughout the stay. para-3 Dining makes excellent use of the waterfront. 1962 By the Sea Restaurant takes its name from an important year in Miramare’s history and brings Mediterranean cooking to a beautiful position beside the Ionian, creating the kind of setting where lunch has a habit of lasting considerably longer than intended. Antonino’s Italian Restaurant brings a different flavour to the collection, while Makris Fine Dining provides the more ambitious culinary experience for evenings when dinner deserves to become the occasion. The contrast between the three gives the hotel genuine variety without losing the strong Mediterranean identity running through the resort. Drinks follow the same relationship with the sea, with bars and poolside spaces carrying the day from coffee and a light lunch through to cocktails after sunset. The Raw Bar adds another relaxed waterfront stop, and the different settings make it easy to find somewhere that suits the hour rather than following a fixed routine. para-4 The shoreline is where Miramare is at its most seductive. A private beach area, three outdoor pools and gardens that meet the water create plenty of places to settle for the day, yet the long waterfront encourages the occasional wander simply to see what lies around the next corner. One of the loveliest ways to experience Corfu from here is by boat. Miramaretta, the resort’s speedboat, opens up the island from the sea with excursions towards Corfu Town, secluded coves and historic sights. Back on land there is tennis, cycling, hiking, yoga and a programme of cultural experiences, with live music adding atmosphere to selected evenings. para-5 Domes Soma Spa is a beautiful retreat within the resort, with arches, pale marble and softly lit spaces creating an intimate contrast to the openness of the waterfront. A hammam and steam facilities accompany a substantial treatment menu covering massage, body rituals, facials and beauty therapies. Yoga and fitness provide a more active route into wellness, although there is something equally restorative about simply returning to the gardens afterwards and finding a quiet place beside the Ionian. It is a spa that feels completely in tune with the character of Miramare. para-6 Domes Miramare is located on Corfu’s eastern coast at Moraitika, with Corfu Town and its UNESCO protected historic centre within easy reach and Corfu International Airport approximately 13 kilometres away.
From £175 per night
At the foot of pine covered cliffs on Corfu’s west coast, Domes of Corfu, Autograph Collection opens directly onto the golden sands of Glyfada Beach, bringing together beautiful Ionian sunsets, contemporary family accommodation and a generous resort life shaped around the sea. Glyfada is the great pleasure here. The beach stretches in a broad curve beneath wooded hills, with clear, shallow water and a west facing position that brings some glorious evening light across the Ionian. Domes of Corfu follows the natural slope towards the shore, allowing gardens, terraces and low rise buildings to settle comfortably into the landscape rather than separating the hotel from its surroundings. The design has warmth and personality, using earthy colours, curved forms, natural textures and a relaxed bohemian influence throughout the interiors. Families are very much part of the story, but dedicated adult areas and carefully arranged pools create different places to spend the day, while the beach remains the one constant that draws everyone back to the water. para-2 Rooms and suites take their cues from the colours of Corfu, with warm neutrals, natural materials and private patios or balconies creating an easy transition outdoors. Inland and Tropical Retreats sit within the greener parts of the resort, while Sapphire categories turn towards the Ionian and make the most of the sea views. Junior Suites add more generous living space, with Patio and Horizon categories offering different positions within the resort. Sapphire Junior Suites bring the sea firmly into the picture and are also available with swim up pools, allowing the terrace to become a particularly appealing place to retreat during the afternoon. Families have an extensive collection of larger suites to choose from, including Inland, Sapphire and Sublime Family Suites as well as two bedroom accommodation. Selected Sapphire Sublime categories add swim up pools, combining the practicality of proper family space with a more indulgent outdoor setting. para-3 Agora is the main culinary hub, bringing Mediterranean and international dishes together across a broad menu that works particularly well for families. Meze Restaurant gives Greek food a more convivial setting, built around dishes for the table and the pleasure of lingering over dinner rather than simply moving through courses. Yaosai introduces Asian flavours to the collection, while CORE Spianada has a character all of its own. Conceived as an open air agora, it brings food, drinks and entertainment together in a more informal setting and becomes one of the liveliest corners of the resort as the evening unfolds. The beachfront provides another natural backdrop for eating and drinking, and the choice of bars makes it easy to move from something cold beside the pool to an early evening drink with the Ionian ahead. Wine tastings, cooking experiences and gastronomy workshops add a welcome connection to Corfu beyond the restaurant menus. para-4 Most days inevitably find their way back to Glyfada Beach. Its broad stretch of sand and clear, gently shelving water make it especially enjoyable for families, while canoeing, snorkelling, diving and other water based activities provide plenty of reasons to leave the lounger for a while. Separate family and adult pool areas allow different moods to coexist comfortably. Younger guests have a dedicated kids club, crèche and play spaces, while cycling, hiking, yoga, fitness classes and local experiences give older guests plenty of choice. Live music and evening entertainment bring everyone back together as the day begins to cool. para-5 Domes Soma Spa draws on ancient Greek approaches to wellbeing, with massage, body rituals, facials and beauty treatments complemented by a relaxation area and fitness facilities. Yoga and personal training extend wellness outdoors, making particularly good use of the resort’s natural setting. It is easy to build quieter moments into a stay here, whether that means an hour at the spa, a morning yoga session or simply finding a peaceful spot above the beach while the rest of the resort carries on around you. para-6 Domes of Corfu sits directly on Glyfada Beach on Corfu’s west coast, approximately 16 kilometres from Corfu International Airport and 20 kilometres from Corfu Town, making the island’s UNESCO protected capital an easy addition to a beach focused stay.
From £110 per night
Grecotel Lux Me Daphnila Bay sits across a gently sloping hillside on the Kommeno Peninsula, where olive groves and cypress trees lead down to a calm, sheltered bay with wide views over the Ionian. The layout follows the natural contours of the land, with the main building positioned higher up and clusters of bungalows set within gardens closer to the shoreline. Pathways wind through mature planting and shaded terraces, creating a softer, more organic flow than a typical resort layout, and giving the whole property a slightly village-like character. It feels spacious and relaxed, with the landscape playing a central role in shaping both the look and atmosphere. para-2 Accommodation is divided between rooms in the main house and bungalows set throughout the grounds, many of which feel more private and more closely connected to the surrounding greenery. Sea view options are the most rewarding, while bungalow categories — particularly those positioned nearer the water — offer a quieter, more secluded stay. Interiors are comfortable and unfussy, designed to support the setting rather than compete with it. para-3 Dining is built around the Lux Me all-inclusive concept, but with a level of variety that feels more considered than standard. Tavernaki brings a traditional Greek approach, Corfu Venezia Hot Stone leans into Italian flavours, and Asia Oliva introduces a more contemporary, Asian-influenced option. Antica Cucina acts as the main restaurant, while Il Gattopardo provides a more refined setting for evenings, and the addition of a pâtisserie, chocolaterie and creperie gives a sense of constant, easy availability throughout the day. para-4 Days tend to centre around the bay, the pool and the gardens, with the calm shoreline particularly well suited to swimming and watersports. There is a steady programme of activities, from fitness sessions to evening entertainment, but the scale of the grounds allows it to remain low-key, with plenty of quieter corners to step away from the more social areas. para-5 The Elixir Spa provides a more contained and tranquil environment, with an indoor pool, thermal facilities and a full treatment menu offering a clear shift away from the open, sun-led pace of the rest of the resort. para-6 Located around 2.5 km from Dassia and approximately 13 km from Corfu Town, the hotel is well positioned for exploring the island while still feeling tucked into its own quieter stretch of coastline.
From £170 per night
Ikos Dassia stretches along a broad, gently shelving section of Dassia Bay, where pale sand and calm Ionian waters create one of the island’s most accessible and easy-going beachfront settings. The resort is laid out across two distinct zones, with the main building forming a central anchor and a second, lower-rise area of bungalow-style accommodation set within landscaped gardens. Lawns, water features and pathways break up the scale, giving the property a more fluid, considered feel rather than something overly dense, while the beachfront remains a constant focal point throughout. Despite its size, it feels organised and open, with enough space for the layout to breathe. para-2 Rooms and suites follow a clean, contemporary design with an emphasis on light and space. Sea view options are the most rewarding, while bungalow-style suites introduce a stronger sense of privacy, particularly those set within the gardens or with private outdoor areas. The overall finish is polished but comfortable, designed to feel easy rather than overly styled. para-3 Dining is a defining part of the experience, with a strong collection of à la carte restaurants that each bring a distinct identity. Ouzo, Kerkyra, Fresco, Provence and Anaya cover Greek, Italian, French and Asian influences, while Ergon adds a more relaxed, deli-style option, and both SKY Flavors and SEA Flavors provide broader buffet choices. The Dine Out programme extends this further, allowing guests to experience selected local restaurants in Dassia, giving the overall offering more depth than a typical all-inclusive format. para-4 The beach and pools shape the rhythm of the day, with calm conditions ideal for swimming and watersports, and multiple pool areas offering quieter alternatives when needed. There is a steady flow of activity, from sports to entertainment, but the scale of the resort allows it to remain flexible, making it easy to move between livelier and more relaxed moments. para-5 The Ikos Spa by Anne Semonin adds a more refined wellness layer, with treatment rooms, thermal facilities and fitness spaces providing a clear contrast to the open, social areas of the resort. para-6 Located on Dassia Bay, around 10 km from Corfu Town and approximately 12 km from the airport, the resort combines easy access with a setting that feels self-contained once you arrive.
From £245 per night
Ikos Odisia stretches across a broad, tree-lined section of Dassia’s coastline, where olive groves and open lawns gradually give way to a long, quiet beach along the Ionian. What immediately stands out is the sense of space. Rather than concentrating everything around a single focal point, the resort is spread across low-rise buildings and bungalow-style suites set within mature planting, with pathways that wind through gardens and gently connect the different areas. Pools are positioned more discreetly within the landscape, and the beachfront remains the natural anchor throughout. It’s a layout that softens the scale considerably, creating something that feels far more relaxed and residential than you might expect from a resort of this size, with a steady, unforced flow between land, water and living spaces. para-2 Rooms and suites follow a clean, contemporary design, but it’s the setting that gives them their character. Garden access, private terraces and open views make many of the spaces feel more like part of the landscape than separate from it, while the bungalow suites in particular stand out. Those with private pools or direct garden positioning offer a noticeably quieter, more self-contained stay, with a stronger sense of privacy that works especially well here given the scale of the grounds. The overall approach is polished but never overworked, keeping the focus on comfort and ease rather than statement design. para-3 Dining is extensive but carefully structured, with enough variety to sustain longer stays without falling into repetition. Ouzo, Fresco and Anaya bring distinct identities across Greek, Italian and Asian influences, while Oliva, Elia and Sea Grill keep things more relaxed and closely tied to the coastal setting. The balance between more refined evening dining and informal daytime options is well judged, and the Dine Out programme adds genuine depth, allowing guests to experience selected local restaurants in the Dassia area as part of the stay. It shifts the experience beyond the confines of the resort and gives it a stronger connection to place. para-4 The beach is one of the resort’s strongest assets — long, gently shelving and easy to settle into, with calm water that suits both swimming and watersports. Away from the shoreline, the number and distribution of pools means there are always quieter corners to retreat to, even when the resort is busy. There’s a steady rhythm of activity throughout the day, but it never dominates, and it’s easy to step in and out of it depending on how you want the day to unfold. That flexibility is a big part of what makes the scale work in practice. para-5 The Ikos Spa by Anne Semonin adds a more considered wellness dimension, with treatment rooms, thermal facilities and indoor spaces that provide a clear contrast to the open, sun-led environment outside. It’s not positioned as a showpiece, but it’s well executed and gives the resort a quieter, more restorative layer for those looking to slow things down. para-6 Set just outside Dassia, around 12 km from Corfu Town and approximately 14 km from the airport, the location is both practical and well judged — close enough for easy access, but with enough separation for the resort to feel self-contained once you arrive.
From £340 per night
MarBella Corfu is set on a broad, green stretch of the island’s south-east coast, where terraced gardens and layered grounds fall gently towards the Ionian Sea. The scale is immediately apparent, but it’s handled with a light touch. Rather than concentrating everything into a single core, the resort is arranged across low-rise buildings and bungalow-style accommodation set within mature planting, which softens the footprint and keeps the atmosphere feeling open and settled. Pathways wind through olive trees and palms, linking sea-facing terraces, pools and quieter pockets that sit slightly removed from the main flow. It creates a natural sense of movement across the property, with enough space to give it a relaxed, village-like feel while still maintaining a clear sense of structure and cohesion. para-2 The accommodation follows the same thinking, with a focus on space, comfort and ease. Rooms and suites are contemporary without feeling overworked, while the bungalow categories introduce a more private, garden-led feel that works particularly well in this setting. Sea view options are especially rewarding, and the higher-category suites, including those with private pools, add a stronger sense of occasion. Layouts are practical and well judged, making them easy to settle into for both shorter breaks and longer stays. para-3 Dining is varied and well balanced, with each venue bringing its own identity and atmosphere. La Terrazza offers a broad Mediterranean spread, while Deck Bar & Grill keeps things relaxed through the day. Kum Kuat Pan Asian and Celeste French introduce more defined evening experiences, and Kuzina anchors the offering with a more traditional Greek approach. The overall effect is a dining scene that feels considered and easy to move through, with enough variation to keep the experience engaging across a full stay. para-4 The rhythm of the resort is shaped around flexibility. Time naturally shifts between the beach, pools and activity areas, with watersports, the water park and a steady programme of entertainment creating a lively but manageable pace. The grounds are large enough to absorb this energy, so it never feels overwhelming, and there are always quieter corners to retreat to when needed. It’s a setting that suits families particularly well, while still offering enough space for a more relaxed, low-key stay. para-5 The spa and wellness facilities provide a calm counterbalance, with treatments, hammam, sauna and fitness spaces set slightly apart from the more active areas. It adds a more restorative dimension to the stay, giving the option to slow things down without stepping outside the resort. para-6 Located in Agios Ioannis Peristeron, around 17 km from Corfu Town and roughly 30 minutes from the airport, the resort is well positioned for easy access while still feeling comfortably removed once you’re within the grounds.
From £180 per night
Nido, Mar-Bella Collection sits slightly elevated above Corfu’s south-east coastline, where terraced levels step gently down towards the Ionian Sea. The setting feels composed and intimate from the outset, with long, uninterrupted views across the water and a quieter, more considered atmosphere than many of the larger resorts nearby. The layout leans into that sense of seclusion, with low-rise buildings, stone pathways and planted terraces creating a more residential feel. There’s a softness to it — not overly styled or showy — and it settles naturally into the landscape, with spaces that flow easily between suites, pool and shoreline. The result is calm without feeling static, and refined without becoming formal. para-2 Suites and villas are generous in size and designed around outdoor living, which plays a central role in the overall experience. Private terraces, gardens and individual pools are a defining feature across many categories, giving the accommodation a strong sense of space and independence. Sea-facing options are the clear standouts, particularly in the higher categories, where the combination of views and private outdoor space elevates the stay. Interiors remain deliberately understated, allowing the setting to lead, while the overall layout makes it easy to settle into a slower, more private rhythm. para-3 Dining is focused and well judged, with each venue aligning closely with the tone of the hotel. San Giovanni provides a relaxed base for breakfast and evening dining, while Apaggio introduces a more refined take on Mediterranean and Corfiot cuisine in a quieter setting. Aquavit keeps the daytime atmosphere easy and informal, centred around the pool with lighter dishes and a more laid-back pace. Together, the restaurants create a dining experience that feels balanced and consistent, with a natural progression from day into evening rather than a shift in style. para-4 The pool terrace forms the heart of the hotel, positioned to take full advantage of the elevated sea views and setting the tone for the day. It carries a calm, adult-focused atmosphere, where time moves easily between loungers, water and shaded corners without any real sense of structure. The beach below offers a quieter extension of the same experience, adding a change of setting while maintaining that sense of space and ease. Across the property, the rhythm remains unhurried, shaped more by the surroundings than any organised pace. para-5 The wellness offering continues this more personal approach, with a spa focused on treatments and individual experiences rather than scale. Facilities are thoughtfully integrated, creating a calm, contained space that complements the wider setting and allows for a more restorative shift in pace. para-6 Located in Agios Ioannis Peristeron, around 16 km from Corfu Town and approximately 30 minutes from the airport, Nido feels quietly removed while remaining within easy reach of the island’s main highlights.
From £130 per night
San Antonio Corfu Resort is set into the hillside above Kalami Bay on Corfu’s quieter north-east coast, where olive groves fall towards a small, crystal-clear stretch of water. The setting feels naturally peaceful rather than curated, with uninterrupted views across the Ionian and a sense of stepping away from the busier parts of the island. The layout follows the contours of the slope, with low-rise buildings arranged amphitheatrically to capture the outlook at every level. Stone pathways wind through mature greenery, linking terraces, suites and shared spaces, while the constant presence of the sea gives the whole property a relaxed, open feel that remains consistent throughout. para-2 Rooms and suites are designed with simplicity and space in mind, allowing the setting to take centre stage. Large balconies are a defining feature, drawing the outside in and making the most of the elevated position above the bay. Higher categories introduce outdoor jacuzzis and more expansive terraces, adding a greater sense of privacy and occasion without shifting the overall tone. The approach remains consistent throughout — comfortable, well-proportioned and focused on light, views and ease. para-3 Dining is closely tied to the coastal setting, with a natural shift between beachside energy and more relaxed, traditional spaces. Callao on the coast brings a more vibrant atmosphere, centred around seafood, cocktails and a setting directly by the water. Dyo Elies offers a more grounded Greek experience, with a simpler, slower-paced approach that fits easily into the rhythm of the hotel. Together, they create a dining experience that feels easy and unforced, moving naturally from long lunches into relaxed evenings. para-4 The two pools sit at different levels of the hillside, each offering a slightly different perspective across the bay, while maintaining the same calm, open feel. They act as natural focal points through the day, without drawing attention away from the wider setting. The beach below provides a clear, sheltered stretch of water ideal for swimming and boat access, extending the experience beyond the main resort spaces. Days tend to settle into an easy rhythm between pool, sea and terrace, shaped more by the surroundings than any fixed pace. para-5 Wellness is approached in a more personal way, with treatments offered privately or in-room rather than through a large, dedicated spa facility. It complements the tone of the hotel, keeping the experience flexible and centred around individual pace and preference. para-6 Located in Kalami on Corfu’s north-east coast, around 45 minutes from Corfu Town and the airport, the resort feels quietly removed while remaining within easy reach of Kassiopi and the surrounding coastline.
From £105 per night
The Merchants House sits quietly within the historic village of Perítheia, high in the hills of north-east Corfu, where the pace of the island shifts almost immediately. Surrounded by mountains, olive groves and open countryside, it offers a very different perspective on Corfu — one shaped by history, landscape and a sense of stillness that feels increasingly rare. The property itself is formed from a trio of traditional village houses, carefully restored with a clear respect for their origins. Stone walls, wooden details and original proportions remain intact, creating a setting that feels authentic and quietly atmospheric, with shaded terraces and garden corners that sit naturally within the surrounding landscape. para-2 Each suite is individual, shaped by the character of the original buildings, with private entrances and outdoor spaces that open onto gardens or mountain views. The layout gives a sense of independence, more in keeping with a private residence than a conventional hotel stay. Interiors draw on traditional Corfiot design, with handcrafted furniture and period details sitting alongside modern comforts that make longer stays feel easy. The balance is well judged — understated, comfortable and entirely in tune with the setting. para-3 Mornings begin with a simple, thoughtfully prepared breakfast using local ingredients, often taken outside while the village is still at its quietest. It sets the tone for the day without needing to overstate it. There is no formal restaurant on site, which adds to the sense of place. A short walk leads to a small collection of traditional tavernas where meals feel generous, informal and deeply rooted in Corfiot cooking, with evenings unfolding at an unhurried pace. para-4 The guesthouse sits directly on the Corfu Trail, making it a natural base for walking and exploring the surrounding hills and countryside. Routes begin almost at the doorstep, with the landscape opening out in every direction. The coastline remains within easy reach by car, offering a contrast when you want it, while the gardens and terraces at the house provide just as much reason to stay put. Time here tends to be shaped by mood rather than plans. para-5 There is no formal spa or structured wellness offering, but the setting itself creates a restorative rhythm. Fresh mountain air, quiet evenings and a complete absence of urgency give the stay a natural sense of calm. It’s a slower kind of reset, where the surroundings do the work without needing to be defined as an experience. para-6 Located in Old Perítheia, around 45 minutes from Corfu Town and the airport, The Merchants House feels deliberately removed — a place chosen for its character, its setting and the sense of stepping into a quieter, more authentic side of the island.
From £85 per night
The Olivar Suites sits within a centuries-old olive grove on Corfu’s south-east coast, just back from the shoreline at Messonghi, where the landscape feels softer, greener and more settled than some of the island’s busier stretches. Mature trees, open space and low-rise buildings create an immediate sense of calm, with the grove itself shaping both the atmosphere and the layout. It feels quietly removed, with a more private, residential character than a typical resort setting. Rather than forming around a central hub, the property unfolds as a collection of suites dispersed through the olive trees, connected by pathways, gardens and discreet water features. The architecture remains contemporary but restrained, drawing on natural materials and a muted palette that allows the surroundings to lead. para-2 The suites are generous in scale and carefully arranged to make the most of both light and outdoor space. Private terraces, gardens and pools create a strong indoor-outdoor flow that feels integral to the stay rather than an added feature. Garden and sea view options both sit comfortably within the setting, while the private pool suites bring a deeper sense of seclusion and independence. The larger categories, in particular, begin to feel more like self-contained retreats, with space to settle in rather than simply pass through. para-3 Dining centres around Flya, the hotel’s all-day restaurant, where Greek and Mediterranean influences are interpreted with a light, contemporary touch. The setting and pacing mirror the wider property, allowing meals to unfold naturally rather than feeling overly structured. Breakfast carries a sense of ease that sets the tone for the day, while evenings move at a slower rhythm, with the bar and restaurant spaces offering a relaxed transition from day to night without ever feeling formal. para-4 The atmosphere encourages a slower pace from the outset. The pool area is calm and well spaced, the beach sits just a short walk away, and the overall energy remains low-key and unhurried throughout the day. Activities are available, including cycling and watersports, but they remain in the background. The emphasis stays firmly on space, privacy and the ability to move through the day without structure. para-5 The wellness offering follows the same philosophy, with treatments, yoga and fitness sessions integrated into the wider environment rather than set apart from it. Everything feels aligned with the natural calm of the grove. It adds depth to the stay without shifting the tone, allowing guests to engage as much or as little as they choose. para-6 Located in Messonghi on Corfu’s south-east coast, around 24 km from the airport, The Olivar Suites is well placed for exploring the island’s cultural sites while maintaining a clear sense of seclusion once back within the grounds.
From £140 per night
Valmar Corfu sits directly above the shoreline at Agios Ioannis Peristeron, where the coastline opens out into wide, uninterrupted views across the Ionian Sea. The setting feels balanced between greenery and water, with palms, cypress and hillside planting softening the edges of the resort and giving it a more relaxed, coastal character. There’s a natural openness to the space that immediately sets the tone. The architecture draws lightly on Corfu’s Venetian past, with arched walkways, stone detailing and linear forms woven into a contemporary layout. It avoids formality, instead creating a series of open, connected spaces that feel easy to move through, with a more social, lifestyle-led atmosphere running throughout. para-2 Rooms and suites follow a clean, modern approach, designed with comfort and practicality in mind rather than statement design. The layout keeps things simple and well balanced, allowing the setting to take the lead. Sea view categories are the strongest choice, making full use of the elevated position, while family rooms and larger suites offer generous layouts that remain easy to live in. The overall feel is light, functional and in keeping with the wider pace of the hotel. para-3 Dining is central to the experience, with multiple venues creating a natural sense of variety rather than relying on a single focal point. Valle provides the main restaurant setting, while Gill & Olive brings a Mediterranean seafood focus and Viru introduces a more distinctive Peruvian influence. The different spaces allow the mood to shift easily across the day, from relaxed lunches through to more social evening dining, giving the resort a sense of movement without ever feeling over-structured. para-4 The energy of the hotel sits somewhere between relaxed and social, with the pool and beachfront acting as the main anchors throughout the day. There’s a steady rhythm rather than a fixed schedule, allowing the atmosphere to build naturally. Time moves easily between quieter moments by the water and a more sociable pace around the bars and shared spaces, with enough activity available to engage without ever dominating the stay. para-5 The spa and wellness facilities introduce a calmer counterpoint, with treatments, hammam and fitness spaces offering a shift in pace when needed. They sit comfortably within the overall layout rather than feeling set apart. It adds another dimension to the stay, without changing the tone or pulling focus away from the wider experience. para-6 Located on Corfu’s south-east coast, around 18 km from the airport and within easy reach of Achilleion Palace, Valmar Corfu is well positioned for exploring, while maintaining a sense of space and separation once back within the resort.
